Private messaging (PM) has been temporarily disabled

Postby allingeneral » Sat, 02 Oct 2010 22:43:57

Due to some ignoramus (ME) accidentally sending a PM to the entire board and confusing the heck out of everyone... and subsequently, several people have replied to this PM, to all members of the board...I have suspended the PM functionality until this blows over.

I'm truly sorry for flooding everyone with so many emails and private messages... Please just ignore all of them.

I'll re-enable private messaging soon. For now, if you have a Marketplace deal going on, please click the user's name and use the forum's EMAIL function to contact someone.

Sorry again for the confusion and the inconveniences this evening.

Rick

I run a handful of forums for my gaming clans|guilds and I can tell you that I have never had someone's account hacked and then that used to send all members messages. Never. BTW, I have this really nice bridge that needs a home.

It happens and thanks for the quick heads up!

Well - just to be clear - there was no "Hack" - it was just me being stupid and sending a message to the "Registered Users" group...then the replies started... turned into a mess :-/

Thanks for the heads up. I was curious as to what was going on.
A question
Does every one have to sign in every time they check in to the board?
Like right now when I leave the board to visit Cast Boolets and return I'll haveto sign in again.
Yes I tick the box that says 'Remember Me.'

If you select the "Remember me" box, then you shouldn't have to re-sign in when you return.

What browser and operating system are you using?

Is anyone else having this problem??

If your browser is set to dump all cookies when it's closed, the Remember Me function won't work. I know this because that's how my browser is set.

Private messages are back up and running. Sorry again for the problem. I have made some adjustments to the PM settings, so hopefully these things won't happen again. GOOD DAY! :whistle:
